'Road was closed with police everywhere'

A woman passerby said she was walking past when the lorry struck the pedestrian. She said:

I walked past at about 10.30am and saw a lorry which had stopped next to a car.

I didn’t think anything of it and carried on.

But when I came back about an hour later the whole road was closed off with police everywhere.

Someone told me a young man had been hit by the lorry but the driver didn’t know he’d hit anyone.

He carried on driving and only stopped when another motorist flagged him down and told him he’d hit someone.”
